Macedonia council refers recreational-vehicle ordinance to planning commission after mixed public feedback
Summary
Council voted to send Ordinance 55 (recreational-vehicle regulations) to the planning commission for further review after receiving mixed comments; members discussed enforcement concerns and the possibility of seasonal rules.
City Council moved Ordinance 55, a recreational-vehicle ordinance, to the planning commission for further review after members said they had received mixed feedback from residents.
A council member who sponsored the item told colleagues that the city received at least one negative comment through the municipal contact form and another expressing support. That council member said one concern was enforcement: some residents noted the city has not consistently enforced existing RV rules, and asked whether changes would simply change enforcement timing. The sponsor suggested keeping stricter enforcement in winter months while permitting more summer-time use to reflect seasonal recreational activity.
Council discussed procedure and timing for the planning commission referral. Members asked that the clerk provide a prompt notice to planning commissioners when materials are sent so commission members can prepare; council also asked counsel about extending the review window from 30 to 45 days if necessary to allow the commission adequate time.
Council voted to refer the ordinance to the planning commission and said it would revisit the ordinance after the commission report. The referral was approved by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
Ending: Council members said they wanted public participation in the planning-commission review and to revisit the ordinance after the commission reports back.
